Kirsten  (kmcripn) Did you know that your ability to "read" the thoughts and feeling of others could be affected by the type of fiction you read?

According to an item on NPR, scientists have proven just that:

Apparently, those who read literary fiction (such as Erdrich, Louise's The Round House) did much better than those who read nonfiction or popular fiction).

Scott | 77 comments O.o. I'm starting to think I faux pas'd!! I think in my quick reading, I may have mistaken Alex's name for the faction. Oh...damn ye, cruel Gods of fate. I dont have a faction yet...I dare say I think I'm divergent


≈aleх: pнoenιх oғ тнe ғlaмe≈ (loveisendless) We're all divergent in some way(Amity-Candor walking :3)
